Tilman will not be available. He wants to remain in Chicago and he says he and Bears are working things out.

Peppers would be waaaaay overpriced.

I’m with you on Allen, but don’t think it will happen. Hester most likely won’t either. McCluster? Maybe.

What you are referring to is not a guarantee for success nor a sustainable model. More often than not, older free agent signings tend to backfire.

That’s not to say that he’s not willing to sign a one day deal at the end to retire a bear but that’s what he said

You’re right about Tavon! That’s one. Now you’ve got 31 other teams to go or otherwise you’ve made my point. As I recall Tavon had 40 recs for 418 yards as he was hurt for a number of games. Surely you would expect more from a talent like Sammy Watkins and wouldn’t want to see a 1st round pick on IR.

Gus. I’ll give you a FG for that, but no TD! lol

Thu, 30 Jan 2014 23:43:47 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=106314#comment-3363873We should bring in Hester AND another threat.

Glen on could use some help at WR.

Also,our O-Line is O-verrated and we need to draft fresh blood.

Between Nick’s salary cap hit, the fact that we only have 5 draft picks, and Licht’s comment about building through the draft (not taking big time free agents) I don’t see many top shelf additions to the Bucs roster in 2014. We are going to have to develop the players we have on board.

I agree on Archer, but he can probably be had in the 7th round. But maybe you’re right because he’s probably going to move up once he’s discovered. Small school product, nobody knows about him yet.
